Project:
400 High Tower
Robinson Township, PA

Architect:
Lucian Caste Architects, Pittsburgh, PA

Owner:
High Tower Land Company

400 High Tower is the third building in an on-going 100-acre development that will eventually include 14 office buildings. Impressively situated atop the apex of a valley, 400 High Tower overlooks a spectacular landscape that visually enhances the strong architectural form.

Beveled bands of aggregate stucco with convex corners circle the building's top three stories, framing bronze-colored window walls. The curved wall detail is maintained throughout the building's central core for ease of circulation.

Mosites Construction implemented several strategies to cut dramatically the time from groundbreaking to occupancy. All building materials and equipment were ordered well in advance of groundbreaking, for rapid sequential installation.

Structural steel taken from a former railroad bridge was used for part of the building, reducing steel fabrication time and project cost.

Preformed stucco wall panels were shop fabricated for quality control, ease and speed of installation.

Four months after construction began, Westinghouse occupied the top two floors - complete with elevator service.
